Some of the desires, like Taichi's sleep was just silly, but the rest. Well the arc is getting so emotional fast and going in the direction I thought it would. I cant believe the StuCS friends are all on the verge of breaking up and not wanting to see each other. Inaban making tons of mistakes, Yui trying to isolate herself still, and then Taichi being caught off guard. :( Hope Aoki and Iori can stay with Taichi and they dont go through any trials either.

Kuroko's Basketball 20
Friendship building was just what I needed today. Episode was really great. Really glad Kuroko and Kagami made up. Thought Kagami had lost trust in Kuroko and was breaking, but when it was revealed the distance was just for the sake of growing stronger apart, I was glad. The whole dark court confession scene was good.

It's interesting how anime turns things that might theoretically be interesting given a very specific context, like metatextuality or genrsaviness, into everyday occurrences with no thought put into them. It's just part of that checklist that has to be ticked.

Yeah, it's weird. You make a character a nerd? That's fine because anime. But when the nerd character becomes self-aware and is a nerd that comments on nerd aspects of the show that they're in? It just becomes pointless self-awareness.

Kokoro Connect - Things are getting pretty tense but I hope all the desires aren't to yell at your friends/people all the time. Inaba is definitely the most interesting character so far. I'm surprised they haven't tried to keep Aoki away from Yui at all. The sexual desires are going to come at some point, I know it.

also here's a peek of what Lisbeth looked like (Kunori Fumio was a byline of the author)

Well, at least the rest of the SAO arc is commendably quick-paced and conclusive.

There's a degree to which i'm willing to accept gary stu bullshit and i think they just go way overboard as the story progresses.

She looks so anorexic. Also, I've always imagined her using a giant hammer to forge things for some reason. The tiny hammer just doesn't look right. How can you put your heart into something if you barely have to use any strength to pound with the hammer.

I certainly don't use the word to describe all little girls under a certain age in anime--if a child acts as a child realistically would, calling her anything other than a child is unwarranted. I think that I'm a bit more expansive in my use of the term simply because even little girls in anime that aren't blatantly sexualized can exhibit traits that, unintentionally or otherwise, are "passively" sexual.

For instance, consider the pairing of mature mind with an immature body, which is presumably the "ideal" or "the best of both worlds" for some lolicons. Precocious children are far too common in anime for it not to be a significant point of appeal for viewers. Character traits like tsundere play into some males' sexual fantasies of being verbally abused by women.

I understand anyone who strives to be selective with the use of "loli" in order to prevent the original meaning from being lost and I don't disagree with being careful in its use; I may just happen to see loli pandering in places where others would argue that it doesn't exist.

No worries, I'm definitely not going to begrudge anyone their personal stance on when and where the word is appropriate to use as the concept of "loli" itself is at least partially subjective in what it applies to.

Seriously, fuck this fucking show. Kanna face is amazing though. From now on, every friendzoned character will be "Kanna'ed."

And while I think it's shit, the show has really become a shitty harem show more than anything else. It's too bad, because it was truly repulsive the first couple of weeks. I miss the days when Kirito was fucking Batman.

He was still Batman throughout the entire episode. A spare fur coat, potions, almost running up the wall, I'm surprised he just didn't already have the damn crystals from the start.

Holy cockblock Batman. Seriously though, Asuna lost points this week. There have been three girls besides her and they're all basically more fleshed out than her. She can make sandwiches and she's a tsundere. That's about all I know.
